I have a 2009 Nissan 370Z not 350Z So, after ordering all necessary component to install my new F900BT I just realized something. I've got the Touring package w/ the BOSE HU. The climate controls and radio controls are all fixed into one dash panel. 1) Is there any aftermaket dash kit for this? 2) Would getting a dash panel from a base model work? 3) Would there be issues wiring the F900 to the factory amplified system? I have posted on damn near all the nissan forums and no help now im getting the feeling that im screwed and might have to end up selling everything cause i got it on amazon and it went past the 30 days. Anyone with input please help.

 

thanks Mike

Hey I'll trade you for my WRX, it'll fit fine in there :mrgreen:

 

I used to have a 1996 maxima with a bose system. Each speaker had it's own amplifier with a proprietary connection to the head unit, so there was no way to replace the head unit without also replacing all the speakers (and vice versa). I'm not positive that it is the same for you 370Z, but I wouldn't be surprised. Bose has never been friendly with the aftermarket world. I'll never buy a car with Bose again. Give me a car with a cheap crappy radio and let me replace it myself for less money... anyways, I would try to contact Nissan or Bose and see if you can get the specs for the radio, maybe you'll be able to use the Bose speakers somehow.

 

As far as mounting it... this thread seems to have covered it (NSFW avatars)

If your radio looks like the third one here, I think the space where the screen is is a double DIN slot. You should be able to mount the pioneer unit there, at least in theory. You'd have to find or make your own brackets though, and all those buttons would become useless. And you'd still have to deal with the wiring.

 

If you have the second one, I guess your best bet would be to try to track down the parts from the 1st one... probably wouldn't be cheap though. AND you'd still have to deal with the wiring.
